description of the

container set label

container create mstripe

command with the /label switch creates a stripe set of mirror sets
with the label Pluto.

HPN0> container create mstripe /label=Pluto 0 1

Executing: container create mstripe /label="Pluto" 0 1

Understanding How to Create a Stripe Set of Mirror Sets

This section provides an example that describes how to create a
stripe set of mirror sets.

Before creating a stripe set of mirror sets, be sure that the mirror sets
that are to be striped have been created. See Working with a Mirror Set
in Chapter 7, Working With Single-level Containers, for information on
creating a mirror set. Use the

container list

command to

display information about your containers, as in the following
example. In the example, the Type column indicates two Mirror sets
that reside on containers 0 and 1.

HPN0> container list

Executing: container list

2:04:0 64.0KB: 100MB

To create a stripe set of mirror sets, use the

container create

mstripe

command, as in the following example. In the example,

containers 0 and 1 are used to create a stripe set of mirror sets. The
stripe size is not specified; therefore, the stripe size is 32KB, which is
the default size.

HPN0> container create mstripe 0 1

Executing: container create mstripe 0 1
